Thread: Grating puck soap??

definitely recommend it.. infact.. i'm going to go ahead and grate all my soaps tonite.. do you think it would be okay to grate my french soaps?

Well, I grated my MWF and love it. It really does make a difference. The more I use this soap the more I like it.
The wife wasn't too excited about my using her cheese grated though. Guess I'll have to buy my own.

So I guess that makes you a charter member of the Chubby Chaser Club. MWF is, in my modest opion, one of the finest soaps on the market. As far as dual use cheese graters and SWBO, I headed that one off at the pass and purchased a cheap one at the flea market for a dollar. It lives under the sink in my shave cave and has never come within 20 feet of a piece of cheese.

I don't think the milled soaps will melt in the nuke (don't know for a fact), but the cold process soaps (like col conk) do. As for killing essential oils, if you don't get a great big wiff of of the aroma, you shouldn't be killing off the oils. You don't really need to completely melt the soaps, just long enough to liquify some so the puck drops down, maybe 10 secs on high. Try 5 second bursts to be safe. I use the very lightly scented amber Col Conk cause I don't like overly scented soaps; don't want to spell like the soap, same reason I don't use colognes or aftershaves, just don't like to smell like bay rum or whatever.

I grated, or started to grate the remains of a puck of MWF, but resorted to whittling it with a knife. Worked fine, packed well, and lathers great.
